Three Tips for Getting Started with IT Governance in vScope
IT governance can be challenging when managing complex IT assets, documentation, and compliance. vScope simplifies this process with a comprehensive CMDB and Service Mapping features that deliver complete visibility and streamlined collaboration across your network. In this post I will share three tips to get started and get the most out of IT governance in vScope.
1. Leverage Bundled Templates for Quick Setup
vScope’s bundled IT service templates provide a structured starting point that supports effective IT governance. These templates help you:
- Document IT services consistently
- Follow industry best practices and frameworks
- Customize fields and layouts to meet your needs
Visit the IT Services > Layouts section in your dashboard to view and modify the current layouts. These templates are designed to adapt to various frameworks such as SLA, Contract & Agreement, Information Security, and more.
2. Invite your team to collaborate
Effective IT governance is a team effort. With vScope, you can invite an unlimited number of users to collaborate on IT service documentation. Grant specific read or write permissions to ensure everyone contributes securely.
Utilize the power of Extended Permission Groups to control access in detail and streamline collaboration.
3. Make use of IT Services in other tools in vScope
Once your IT services are documented, leverage other vScope tools to further enhance your IT governance:
Document in Tables for Enhanced Analysis
Use Tables to filter, track history, and compare data for a comprehensive overview of your IT services.
Set up alerts and compliance checks with Tracker
Tracker ensures your documentation remains compliant and up-to-date. Set alerts to receive email notifications for critical changes.
Consolidate data with Dashboards
